THE INDUSTRIOUS CARsER OF CAPT.
DANIEL X. REEDER.
what Know About the Candidate for
Doorkeepes.

Speaking Of Capt. Daniel X. Reeder car
ries me way back to the days before the
war, when the timber destined to be moved
down in that horrible "harvest Of blood"
wat growing In sturdy proportions among
the rural sections of the country, for you
must remember that the young men Of
those days are no longer young, and many
OF them are older In experience than they
are in years. I met Capt. Reeder yesterday.
We had chat for few moments, and as
he walked away the sight of the empty
sleeve recalled to my mind incidents In this
mans career which would be as valuable
II not so interesting-if II he wasn't up for
any office.

QUIET AND IRREGULAR.
Prices at tho Close but Little Above
Lowest Figures.

Lowest IJRurss'
New YORK, Nov. 80 The stock market
to-day was quiet and somewhat Irregular,
though generally he Wy to weak, and prices
Tonight are materially lower for number
Of the active list. The temper OF the room
was bulllsh this morning aud there was
col siderable buying for out-of-town par
tiee, but the bears aud traders who had put
out short lines yesterday resisted the Inn
provement with vigor, aud during tho fore
noon made q marked impression on the list.
The principal excuse offered for the selling
was reports Of rate cutting in the west.
London was buyer In the early trading,
hut soon turned seller, which encouraged
the traders and smaller bears to hammer
the list.
The opening was quiet, but firm to
strong, at advances over last evenings fin 81
figures OF from 4 to per cent, aud further
small fractions were gained in the early
trading, but the market soon became very
dull, and prices were carried back to open-
ing figures. In the decline the coalers
were most conspicuous. The tone Of the
market improved after 12 o'clock, but the
recoveries were for small fractions only,
and renewal OF the decline 10 the last
hour wiped out the greater part OF this
gain. The close was dull and heavy, at
but little better than the lowest prices Of
the day. Railroad bonds were dull.
Money on call has been easy, ranging
from 1 to 6, last loan at /, and clos
ing offered at l.. Sterling exchange is dull
and iteady. Actual business at 4sli
to 4Sl1 for 60-day bills, and is42 to 4s5 for
demand. Posted rates 4S2 TO 4S6. Gov

bonds dull and steady.

Mr.. Carter, the Hawaiian minister, says,
with reference TO the reports from San
Francisco OF Iobbery In the Hawaiian legis-
lature in sanctioning the loan recently
negotiated In London by the late ministry,
influenced more by the fear Of incurrlng
the stigma of reputation than by any un,
worthy motives. He also says that the new
loans spoken of are for private enterprises
with which the Hawaiian government has
nothing to do.

THE CERTIFICATE oUAsnED.
An opinio, in one of the Tax Lien
Cases,

In the court IN general term the case Of
Fraser against the District OF Columbll
was decided, Justice Merrlck delivering the
opinion Of the court This is one Of come
forty odd cases brought up by Messrs.
Birney Il Birney on certlorarl, to test the
legality Of the assessment for special i'm.
proVenents and certificates Issued there.
for A motion was made and argued tu
quasb the certificates or the g ound of
illepality. In this case the court grants
the motion and quashes the certificate on
the ground that the amount stated is In ex
cess Of the amount as revised. The court
holds that the special assessments were
ratified by the act Of June 10, 1878 and as
revised they shopld be collected with
interest from thirty days after the date of
the original assessment.
This decision does not touch the cases
based on assessments Of the old corporation
Of Washington, or the cases on assessments
for water main tax. 1t ia claimed that the
d strict will gain some 100000 by this de
